Lyrics
The Ice Bridge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Those that have lived before
They breathe and walk through us
A course relayed
Round our sacred fires
That light up these hillsides
At dawn we shall begin
With fear of extinction
We’re pushed to the edge of the ice
Instinctive direction
A drive to survive
All eyes to the east
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder crossed
He has seen
Snowflower Elder
He has walked forest green
All eyes to the east
Stand tribe to tribe
For we are the lords of the future
True pillars of life
And if we’re to arrive
Through such desperate times
We must stand unified
Traces of ancestral faces
Project on a blizzard torn sky
In a game of do or die
Fly clear with the falcon
Perceive through the eagle’s eye
This is exponential ancient overdrive
No turning back
We must cross the Ice Bridge
Onward to sunrise
In a race against time
[II. Race Against Time]
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder crossed
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder walked
Lands of green
Eyes to the east
Snowflower Elder crossed
Eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder walked
[III. Interaction]
